Cardinals Blogger Of The Week 3-5-10: Chirp Chatter

In that spirit, Sports Hot Corner honors the 2009 Pacific Coast Champions Memphis Redbirds this week by featuring its blog as our “Cardinal Blogger of the Week.” Chirp Chatter was created last season by the Redbirds, and they look to utilize it even more this year to communicate with their fans. Chirp Chatter falls under the purview of Director of Baseball Operations/PR Kyle Parkinson. He’s assisted by two interns - Jordan Johnson (Communications Assistant) and Dave Portney (Media Relations Assistant). Jordan and Dave will be the go-to people on the blog this year, with Kyle adding his two-bits from time to time.

Headed Home

Well, as they say, all good things must come to an end and our Spring Training trip is no different. The Redbirds traveling party disbanded this morning with the important people (President/GM Dave Chase and President Bill Harter) leaving first thing this morning and the not quite as important people (Broadcaster Steve Selby and myself) sitting in the Palm Beach Airport right now waiting to fly back to Memphis. (Side note: the trip is already off to a great start as they just announced our flight is delayed by nearly an hour.)
